Chapter 20: Gone

Alexander North’s POV:

My heart just crushed into pieces, everything felt like a movie. Everything happened in slow motion. The fireman was trying to stop the fire that came from Angel's car. I saw Angel's parents were crying at the side.

I can't believe this.

I really can’t believe this. I still can’t believe this. I can't lose her now. I just saw her yesterday and now she's gone. Suddenly I was dragged, I turned my head and found Kenneth was dragging me. He stopped as we arrived at his car, he sighed and looked at me with sad eyes.

"There's something weird with the accident," Kenneth stated.

"What?" I asked disbelief.

"There are 3 opponents in this race. Do you want to know who her opponent is, Alex?" He asked in a really serious tone, and I nodded.

"Jackson and Robert." My eyes widened and my heart boiled, ready to kill Nate.

"Calm down." Ken put his hands on my shoulder.

"Jackson's car pushed her car and Robert did the same so she basically can't control her car because the both of them pushing her. Smart head she is, she stepped on the break so Jackson and Robert can't push her anymore but…Robert reacted quick, he made a U turn and threw a knife at her back wheel, so she lost control of her car. This happened at a great speed Alex." Ken said and I nodded, but still the fact she died.

"We have to get Nate!"

"Since the accident is fresh, we got the CCTV footage before he can even delete it. You came on time."

"Still Ken, the fact that she's gone." I looked down and felt my heart broken.

"This is my fault." I mumbled and can't even stop the tears coming out my eyes. I walked towards my car and got inside. I closed my eyes and started to let out my emotions. I punched my steering wheel. My heart was hurting.

‘There's a saying that 'you will realize you love someone when that person’s gone', she’s right. She was right and now she’s the one who’s gone.

I remembered Angel saying that and my heart crushed into pieces. I kept hitting my steering wheel letting out my emotions.

I should have kept her close.

I should have kept my eyes on her.

I should have let her in to my life.

I should have protected her.

I should have…I should have…

I heard a knock and I turned to see Sky gesturing me to go out. I opened the door and got out from my car.

"You need to see this," Sky said and led me to Luke's car. There were a few computers sitting in the back of his car. I walked to them.

"You might want to see this," Sebastian said and I looked at the CCTV footage. Angel's car was so fast until she was trapped between 2 cars. She was trying to push them away but it didn’t work until she decided to push the break. Her car stopped…she went again but suddenly I saw one car got back and throw a knife to her back wheel…she lost control until she crashed but the CCTV doesn't reach the place where she crashed.

"There's some weird footage." Luke said as he fast forwarded the clip.

"You see this…it's like Jackson and Robert stopped to see Angel's car but since it’s a blindspot place so we don't know what they did until Angel's car blew up." Luke said as he pointed at the screen.

"I think Nate already know about this blind spot so that's why he made a scenario about this." Sebastian added.

"He attacked Angel when he knows you're letting her go and when you're not protecting her." Max said and I turned to him.

"He might see you already care for her Alex, that's why he dared to take this action." Ken suddenly walked to us.

"But he took her life." Sky said.

"He’s too much." Aaron added and I sighed.

"There's a chance that Angel is actually alive." Ken suddenly stated and I looked at him seriously.

"What?"

"He takes that blindspot so no one ever knows if Angel is still alive or not, maybe they made the fire can't be stop to hide the fact that her body wasn't in there." Ken stated and that made sense.

"You're right."

"There's a chance maybe Nate hide her but there's a chance that she actually dies." Sebastian said slowly.

"I have to kill Nate!"

"Take it easy bud, first we have to find a footage where his man spying on you and then the footage that their car went out from here." Ken said.

"Next time don't let your guard down Alex, this is crazy." Aaron patted my shoulder.

"Let's find her, I'll ask my man to find it." Sebastian said.

"I need to face Nate." I need to kill that bastard right now.

"Wow…slow down bud." Luke held me.

"Don't attack him now, let's find all the footage together first then we can attack him. If you attack him now without any proof, he will get reverse the situation." Max said and they all nodded. He gave a patt on my shoulder and I sighed. I was trying so hard to control my temper. I can kill Nate with my bare hands in this state…I walked to Angel's parents as I saw them crying and I can't help but cry again in this situation.

There's still a chance that Angel is still alive, but we don't know.

"Alex, right? You're Angel's boyfriend, right?" Her mom asked me while crying and I nodded weakly.

"This is crazy, I saw her this evening before she left." Her mom continued to cry and so was her dad.

She's right…

You will realize how much that person means so much to you until they're gone.
